First of all if you know Bernard you know he’s not the coaching type, and he’s full invested in his family when he’s not racing. So nope

Second, Bernie is a millionaire why would he take a job paying 40k a year he can make that in a couple road races. Double nope

Lagat is already a volunteer on their website, this would be an easy 40k and wouldnt affect his training. Suppose he tries for the 2020 Marathon Trials and or even the 10k on the track, how much further could he realistically go? What is he going to do when he is out of the sport? I bet he gets involved with coaching, and it starts with this assistant job.

Jenkins,
I get that they keep cutting your budget, I do, I really do, but coming on here and posting about yourself (first it was the UK job, and now it’s the Purdue job) is just sad.
Apply, maybe you’ll get an interview

Milt is Director of Track and Field at Stanford. Why would he ever leave that for a lesser position?

People don't get the expectations that exist at Stanford. I've AD expects you to win an NCAA title. They win the Sears Cup every year. I once heard they had a meeting a Stanford and the AD asked all the head coaches to stand up who had won an NCAA title. Nearly every coach but the track / xc coaches stood up.

The xc team is one of the worst non-revenue fall sports at Stanford and they both finished 4th in the country last year. I'm not joking.

Here is how the Stanford fall sports teams did last year:

Women's Volleyball - made final 4 in 2017.
Men's Soccer- Won 3 straight national titles.
Women's Soccer - Won 2017 NCAA title.
Women's field hockey - Didn't make NCAAs.
Water polo men - Ranked 4th in country
Women's XC - 4th in country
